"This login information (email address and password) are already being used by a FRITZ!Box user. The passwords must be different for security reasons."

1 Changing the passwords for FRITZ!Box users

For security reasons, the FRITZ!Box cannot register a MyFRITZ! account with the MyFRITZ! service if the password for the MyFRITZ! account is the same as the password for a FRITZ!Box user. Therefore, make sure that the passwords of all FRITZ!Box users differ from the password for the MyFRITZ! account:

2 Setting up an existing MyFRITZ! account in the FRITZ!Box

If the option "MyFRITZ! enabled for this FRITZ!Box" is displayed, click the "Another MyFRITZ! account" link to the right of the email address.

Enable the option "Register the FRITZ!Box with an existing MyFRITZ! account".

In the corresponding fields, enter the email address and MyFRITZ! password you used to register with MyFRITZ!. This is the login information for your MyFRITZ! account required to log in on the myfritz.net website.

Click "Continue".

If you are asked to set up a FRITZ!Box user, enter a name and password for the FRITZ!Box user in the corresponding fields and click "Next".

Important:For security reasons, the passwords for the FRITZ!Box user and your MyFRITZ! account must be different.
